Scent Description:

GUERLAIN L'Instant Pour Homme EDP offers a sweet patchouli aroma, reminiscent of Dior Homme without the iris. LIDGE opens with a sparkling burst of star anise and citrus, which quickly gives way to a dense, earthy heart of smoky Lapsang tea and dark patchouli. The scent is defined by its signature dusty cacao note, which feels bittersweet and sophisticated rather than sugary. It smells like sweet patchouli, dark chocolate and black tea.
